Crusaders v Tigers: Teams

Harris: Says atmosphere within squad is good

Crusaders boss Iestyn Harris has recalled six of the seven players recently suspended for a breach of club discipline.

Jason Chan, Gil Dudson, Richard Moore, Jarrod Sammut, Jordan Tansey and Lloyd White have all been included in Harris' 19-man squad for the visit of Castleford Tigers on Saturday.

The players, along with Peter Lupton, were punished last week after reportedly taking part in a late-night drinking session.

They had already returned to training on Monday and are now set to face the Tigers, with the exception of Lupton who is missing through injury.

"There has been a lot of energy in the squad this week. The guys are back in training and the group has been pretty good this week," said Harris, whose bottom-placed side have lost seven engage Super League fixtures in a row since beating Wakefield 23-10 on May 13.

"They are very focused on getting themselves off the bottom of the table."

Hep Cahill is back and Lee Williams retains his place in the Crusaders' initial 19-man party.

But Gareth Thomas is out for up to six weeks with a broken arm, Mark Bryant has failed to recover from a dead leg and Eliot Kear is dropped.

No Chase

Castleford must do without playmaker Rangi Chase, who is serving a one-game ban for punching during the Tigers' victory over Bradford last time out.

Ryan McGoldrick or Dean Widders will switch to stand-off in Chase's absence, with full-back Richard Mathers brought into Castleford coach Terry Matterson's initial 19-man squad.

Young forwards Oliver Holmes and Daryl Clark are also included.

Crusaders squad: Cahill, Chan, Dudson, Flower, O'Hara, James, Johnson, Martin, Mellars, Moore, Reardon, Sammut, Schifcofske, Tansey, White, Williams, Winterstein, Withers, Witt

Castleford squad: Arundel, Clark, Davies, Dixon, Ferres, Holmes, Hudson, Jackson, Jones, Mathers, Massey, McGoldrick, Milner, Orr, Owen, Parker, Thompson, Widders, Youngquest
